Duty Management System (DMS)

DMS is a web based solution for the planning and recording of staff duties. It is ideal for retail, voluntary organisations, event and guarding companies who need to be able to staff a wide variety of events. The event and guarding industries require a responsive and flexible workforce. They need to be able to contact staff across the country to meet resourcing demands often at short notice. This can be time consuming involving a large number of coordinating staff.

DMS allows managers and resource units to send messages soliciting volunteers for events via email, text or interactive voice response. One simple - Push to send. It allows your workforce to respond but it also allows your workforce to plan their own duties ahead of time. As soon as they record their plan or availability the manager or resorcing unit is notified.

This has been proven to increase effectiveness and availability of staff by over 20%.*
